swindelljd Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I (think) bought 2 x CMX512-3200C2PT modules to be able to overclock with my AMD64 3000+ with on an ASUS A8N-SLI mobo. I have updated to the latest bios and am still having trouble getting decent memory oc values. I believe the memory I received may not actually be CMX512-3200C2PT. The reason I believe this is when I open CPU-Z it shows in the SPD timings table that at 200Mhz it is CAS=3 RAS->CAS=3 and TRAS=8. However according to the specs it should be reading 2-3-3-6 @ 200Mhz. Also there doesnt appear to be any serial number or manufacture date registered on the modules. Since I paid almost $200 I expect this stuff to be better than that VS512MB400C3 value ram but so far I dont see that it is. What it the deal? Do I really have the memory that I believe I bought? thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 How To Read the Memory Label Is there a sticker like that on the memory? With this memory, it's set to 3-3-3-8 by default from the factory. You'll have to set the timings manually like so: CAS Latency: 2.5 on AMD systems (2.0 on Intel systems) RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3 Row Precharge (tRP): 3 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
